Improving GPS Satellite Reception

• Frequently sync the watch to your Garmin account:
◦ Connect your watch to a computer using the USB cable and the Garmin Express application.
◦ Sync your watch to the Garmin Golf app using your Bluetooth enabled phone.
◦ Connect your watch to your Garmin account using a Wi‑Fi wireless network.
While connected to your Garmin account, the watch downloads several days of satellite data, allowing it to
quickly locate satellite signals.
• Take your watch outside to an open area away from tall buildings and trees.
• Remain stationary for a few minutes.
